Education

Learn and have fun at the farm and at home!

Here at White Post we’re more than just your average farm! We’re enthusiastic about education so have a range of ways you can stay and learn with us or have fun learning at home; from free printable fun resources to education boxes for the classroom.

On top of our structured learning packages we’re flexible and imaginative! So if you’re learning about a specific topic we’re happy to work with you to develop activities for your group.

LITTLE FARMERS CLUB

Little Farmers is a weekly group for children aged 2-4 years which aims to develop their early learning skills in a hands-on environment. The sessions are held at the farm every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10am until 12 noon. Each week is based on a nursery rhyme or story!

The sessions are run by two experienced members of our education team, with all the bespoke activities/crafts made to encourage learning and personal development. Little Farmers is also a great chance for your little ones to socialise.

HOME EDUCATION CLUB

The Home Education Club is run by two members of our education team, each with experience with both key stage groups. The Home Ed club is suitable for children in both KS1 and KS2, although if your child is older/younger and you think they would still benefit from it we would be happy to accommodate them.

The sessions run on alternate Thursdays and Fridays from 1pm – 3pm.

The education team have developed the sessions to link in with the learning aims and objectives set out in the national curriculum, while keeping animals at the forefront of each session. Each term we will put the topics on our website so you can see what they will be getting up to, and which sessions you would like to attend. This term will be linked to the sciences, art & design, and geography. We ensure every session involves plenty of animal interaction and as much hands-on learning as possible!

Each session the children will complete bespoke tasks, work sheets and activities based on their topic, and their learning will be recorded weekly. You do not have to attend every session, so if you want to pop along for a few sessions a term please do!
